Rules

By entering the competition you hereby accept the Terms and Conditions of the competition rules listed below

It's a small HOST world

Margaret Hancox writes: My son Duncan and I recently met in Beijing a HOST student who spent Christmas with us 10 years ago. Li Tao was a student at Leeds University and is now a senior administrator at the University of Tianjin. We reminisced about the good time we had together. HOST friendships last a long time!

Upon reading this, Mandy Talbott adds:

The connection doesn’t end there, we think! We are certain that we hosted Li Tao too - he was our second student from Tianjin, the first one being ‘Ben’. When we showed Li Tao some pictures from that visit, he pointed at Ben and said, ‘That guy was my boss’. The HOST world is indeed a small one.
